I have always made a special Christmas cake for Adam. Allergic to nuts, when I made his cake, when nuts were called for, we substituted fruit. Extra cherries, extra peel, extra apricots and raisins make there way into his cake. It doesn’t call for much sugar, but then if you begin with almost four pounds of candied fruit, you really don’t have to add much sugar. Even in the raw, the cake is delicious.
